![]() ![]() The historic streetcars of the MUNI F Line run right past the Alcatraz Landing. We strongly recommend using public transit to get to Pier 33, which is on the Embarcadero south of the intersection of Bay Street. The closest and most convenient lot is at 80 Francisco at Kearny, just one block away, across the Embarcadero from Alcatraz Landing. Most meters are time limited and unlikely to allow enough time for an Alcatraz visit.Ĭommercial Parking Lots: There are fifteen commercial lots with a five-block radius of Alcatraz Landing at Pier 33, with a total of more than 3,000 parking spaces. On-street parking in the Fisherman's Wharf area can be hard to find, and nearly every space has a parking meter. Note that there is no parking available at Alcatraz Landing. Avoid wearing sandals, leather-soled shoes, high heels and open-toe shoes. (Rain gear is available for purchase at the bookstores.) Wear comfortable walking shoes with grip-type soles. The best advice is always to dress in layers. The weather on Alcatraz is unpredictable and liable to change unexpectedly, so be prepared by bringing along a light jacket or sweater no matter how nice the day starts out. The other most important thing to know is that there is no food available on Alcatraz (other than dry snacks/candy from the bookstore)! The most important thing to know when planning a trip to Alcatraz is that all access to the island is through a private ferry company under contract with the National Park Service, Alcatraz City Cruises LLC. ![]()
